To quote the Dev Team “This is a beta tester program. It’s not a general release! Things can go very wrong, so please don’t even consider testing if you have pictures or other media on your device that you haven’t backed up!”

For that reason we recommend you hold offuntil the official release, especially if you rely on an ultrasn0w carrier unlock…

Here are more details surrounding the beta release of Redsn0w:

This is a Mac only beta, unfortunately Windows users will have to be patient.

Known Bugs:

Bluetooth is disabled

iPod player doesn’t work on the iPhone 4 or the iPad

Application switcher will cause a crash

Those three bugs alone are likely deal breakers for most of all of you, and those are just the known issues. That, coupled with the fact that it’s still in beta, and not general release, is the reason why we recommend you all to hold off, and be patient.

You can download RedSn0w 0.9.7b1 from our downloads section. We’ll get a tutorial up in the next few hours.

Let the Dev Team do their thing, and we’re sure they’ll have a great public release in the very near future.
